The applicant, P.R.D., brought a motion for summary judgment seeking exclusive custody of the child, M.R.D., and supervised access for the respondent, K.B. K.B. opposed the motion, requesting joint custody, unsupervised access, or an investigation by the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
The court reviewed K.B.'s history of mental health issues and substance abuse, noting a lack of recent medical evidence demonstrating stability.
Applying the principles for summary judgment in family law, the court found no genuine issue requiring a trial.
The court granted P.R.D. exclusive custody and ordered supervised access for K.B., prioritizing the child's best interests due to K.B.'s unproven stability for unsupervised visits.
